Peter Gabriel - Olive Tree (Bright-Side Mix)
Музыка
Olive Tree is the eighth track from the album i/o. The first version to be heard is the Bright-Side Mix, by Mark ‘Spike’ Stent, released on 1 August 2023.
Written and produced by Peter Gabriel, Olive Tree is another song about connection, both how we interact with nature and the other species around us, but also a greater sensitivity to the potential for broadening human experience, ‘in some ways I do think we are part of everything and we probably have means to connect and communicate with everything that we often shut off. We only want to see and listen to the things that seem important and relevant to us and shut out the noise of everything else when, probably, hidden in that noise there are all sorts of things that can help us realise our place in this future world.’
Like the song Road to Joy, released in June, Olive Tree is also part of a separate brain-related project that Peter is currently working on, as well as being partly influenced by his interest in the brain reading research of the likes of Jack Gallant’s Lab at Berkeley and Mary Lou Jepsen’s work at Openwater.cc, ‘it feeds into this idea that we're no longer these islands that have our own private thoughts, that our thoughts are going to get opened up to the outside world. The lubrication that allows society to function is based, in part, on not being able to read what's going on in other people's minds, so unless we get more comfortable with how we really are, we're probably going to prefer to stay partly buried in our private worlds.’
Musically, Olive Tree provides another up-tempo moment for the i/o record, ‘I wanted it to have some speed to it but I also wanted some mystery, too. I think it is a celebration in a way and there's a real sense of being alive.’ The song features a string arrangement from John Metcalfe, with further contributions from Manu Katché on drums, Tony Levin on bass, David Rhodes on guitar, Josh Shpak on trumpet and additional percussion from Jed Lynch. The song was recorded at Real World Studios, Bath, The Beehive and British Grove, London.
This month’s full moon release comes with artwork from the artist Barthélémy Togou and his work ‘Chroniques avec la Nature’.
‘I was aware of Barthélémy Toguo’s work, which I found very haunting and very strong, but I first met him at WOMAD in 2015, when he came as artist in residence. I wasn't talking about this project at that time, but when I was thinking about re-connecting to nature and his work seemed ideal. I think it's super strong and looks wonderful on stage.
Barthélémy listened to the song and his piece was created as a direct response to the music, which hasn't always been the case with the other artists, but he was determined that he should generte something new and I'm very glad he did, it's wonderful.’
Just like the previous full moon releases, Olive Tree will come with differing mix approaches from Mark ‘Spike’ Stent (Bright-Side Mix), released on 1 August, and also from Tchad Blake (Dark-Side Mix) and Hans-Martin Buff’s Atmos mix (In-Side Mix), released later in the month.
Further details on the release plans for the full album will follow.

I've heard a lot of musicians in my life... but it's special to realize that this voice has continued to fascinate me for about 50 years now.

I heard a quote from Harry Chapin “Be involved with the people with the live hearts, the live eyes, who are committed to something.” That fix Peter Gabriel perfectly.
Ive rocked for 50 yrs, Ive seen nearly 500 concerts in my day. This record has touched my soul and moved my body like nothing before it. Peter has hit the pinnacle of musical quality. Nothing is left unturned. Take a musical journey like no other before it listening to this album...
I like this one. It sounds new, it sounds vintage and I even sense a dusting of Genesis at times. Maybe I'm alone on that but that doesn't matter...it works for me. ☺

Yes he sings a bit like in Genesis days
Great song hints of Genesis and Peter Gabriel II (Scratch) eras in vocals, some The Police type instrumentation and song production only Peter Gabriel delivers. Should be on all radio playlists. NOW!!
I have listened to this song 100 times just today. Tomorrow my body is ready to receive it again.
We're so blessed to have this man who so cares about life and is always bringing such fine musical gifts to the table. He is such a treasure. I love you Mr .Gabriel!
it's not quite 4am and I'm jamming to this song in my bed... what a blessing from universe you are Peter Gabriel 💖

I wanna wish a Happy early 74th Birthday 🎂 to Peter Brian Gabriel!!!! 0:25
Peter you have made 2023 so much more bearable. Forever a fan.
I think is as close to what a modern Genesis song could sound like with Peter. ❤
Love this song! So upbeat! Happy Peter is still here and making incredible music! 🥰❤️💕
Great, has a Phil Collins vibe with the horns. And that's ok with me ! Saw him live Toronto Sept 11/23 , Fourth time in total, always an amazing show.
This song was excellent in concert. Gabriel said it’s from a current concept album project he’s working on. As upbeat as the song sounds, it’s about a person trapped in their body and unable to communicate with the outside world. At least that’s how Gabriel described it in concert the other night in Ottawa.
Excellent music! Your creativity is beyond reproach! 👏👏👏
I needed an Olive Branch of hope and strength today, and i woke up to a whole tree from Peter Gabriel! Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us lunatics... happy full moon! 1 Aug 23 :)
I/O is going to be his best yet, and that is saying something considering his back catalog! My favourite solo artist by a mile!

Master Peter Gabriel, absolutely magical music. Thank you. Good time for you
I never tire of his beautiful timeless voice, awesome!
Since 10 days, i listen only Peter Gabriel with her news masterpieces !!!! 🎉🎉
Thank You Peter Gabriel for good music.
Unbelievable great track!
Excellent. Nice blend of old Genesis, old solo stuff ("Sledgehammer") and two subtle nods to Paul Simon ("Call Me Al" and "Fifty Ways").
Shaping up to be an excellent album from Peter 😊
These are precisely the words, only much better phrases, I told my mum before she passed away, to take away the fear of death... Thank you
I utterly adored this track when I saw you in Manchester (June 23rd 2023). The trumpets are so reminiscent of Genesis. So glad it's now been released for others to enjoy. Truly excellent song!!
I truly hope you receive multiple awards for the way you've unfolded this brilliant project.❤️
Peter's voice is incredible. Like original Genesis❤
Eight tracks in and I am blown away! I am so very thankful for many things and Peter Gabriel provides a soundtrack for us and to them. Awesome album!
I can't stop listening to this song. Everything is breathtakingly beautiful: melody, harmony, arrangements, textures, the lyrics. Thanks!
Peeetahhhhhhh- seeing the light in all creatures!!!!
A funky and uplifting track to deal with a heavy subject
Amazingly put together!! When you put headphones on, you can hear the musicianship and the creativity of PG and his band members. Always a treat👌👌👏👏🎶🎶
Every song released from this album so far has been brilliant. Looking forward to the Chicago show in September.

BRILLIANT AS ALWAYS MR. GABRIREL... Thank you, Peter !
Another great creative song. Had the pleasure to listen to it live. Gabriel makes my heart jump, what about you?
The feel of this takes me all the way back to his first Car album, Here Comes The Flood especially. Really good feelings going on with this.
Well done Peter! We are getting old and wrinkly! The sound and the beat do not change! The music is out there if people will listen! Somethings are timeless, keep on!
Thank you so much!
This is flipping excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Superb

impressive album, again...one of the greats
Amazing song!! I saw Peter Gabriel in Austin last night and the performance of this was one of the highlights of the evening!!!
Love it! This is beautiful, meaningful music, completely in keeping with Peter's unique creative style but still evolving and moving forward as a beacon of wisdom. Some have complained, but I feel that this idea of new moon releases has been brilliant, allowing us to become immersed and familiar with the pieces and anticipating the next release. I for one am enjoying this journey immensely. In his 70's, Peter is absorbing and synthesizing more sources and generating art that feels more connected to deeper truths and rhythms that we recognize somewhere in the recesses of our souls. Maybe this is just mumbo jumbo that I'm spouting, but it feels that way to me, and I'm thrilled to be on this ride

This song reminds me more all his older tracks. His voice still gives me chills. Can't wait to see him in September in DC. I will be sad after the concert not knowing when I will see him again.
🙏Like Usual, So good Thank you Master 🙏 I/O/U
Pretty song
Time to celebrate and have a good time!
I'm in tears my trip into Philly tonight was just cancelled. I'm in tears. I've never missed a Peter tour since the 80s.😢😢😢😢
Yet another brilliant song, and that voice!! Outstanding as ever.

I'm grateful too have heard this. An inspiring work it is indeed. 💚💚💚
This song sounds like a mixture of Peter‘s „So“ era, Phil Collins and Sting. Fantastic piece of music!

Thank You for All the great tunes and music thru the years from your Soul 🙏🎶
Had the privilege to listen to the album under the moon at WOMAD, very moving experience
Semplicemente fantastica
This is for me the best song on this album. These magic chords remind me of songs like Back in NY, DIY and In Your Eyes. Thanks for the comeback.
thanks "big" Peter. Thank you for your music
Inimitable Mr Gabriel ❤👍👍👍
thankyou Peter.
O-Live Tree! O Peter, we are on the same page! Happyness!🎼🔊
😊Merci. Magnifique 😊
Fantastic!
Awesome track, thanks Peter!
Magnificent as always. From Charterhouse to now there is absoulutely no Peter Gabriel song or piece of music that I don't love. Now that to me is a stroke of genius.
VERY GOOD!!!!
Peter grazie! grazie di esistere!!
Amazing ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
so so good. lyrics that touch the soul
Very beautiful masterpiece ❤👍👍👍
LYRICS: [Verse 1] In the misty silver night My eyes fall to the ground I can feel it come alive In the seeds pushing out through the soil New life weaves its way out through the coil Nothing’s gonna hold this movement down [Pre-Chorus] I was apart from it My head in the sky With no ears to listen No light reached my eye There grows the fungi Still tied to its past For the melting of the solid world The change is coming fast [Chorus] And it’s, oh-oh! I’ve got the water falling on me It's all waking me up I’ve got the sunlight bright on my back Warming up all my bones I’ve got thе cool breeze right on my skin Bringing every cеll to life Making all connections live From one point to another And we’re all here, just the same Tryna' make some sense of it Where I’m going now How it fits together In the bigger shape of things [Verse 2] And I slide into the waves Leaving land behind It's another world I’m entering now There’s the shark pushing through the swaying reeds Predator and prey sort out their needs Nothing’s gonna hold this pattern down [Pre-Chorus] I was apart from it In a world of our own We lost all connection To the place from which we’d grown But here in this helmet I can read other minds And scan all the thinking All the juice I can find [Chorus] And it’s, oh-oh! I’ve got the water falling on me It's all waking me up I’ve got the sunlight bright on my back Warming up all my bones I’ve got the cool breeze right on my skin Bringing every cell to life Making all connections live From one point to another And we’re all here, just the same Tryna' make some sense of it Where I’m going now How it fits together In the bigger shape of things [Bridge] Water falls on me It's waking up the world Water falls on us Falling from the head Falling from the head Falling from the head Oh-oh! Oh-oh! [Chorus] Oh-oh! I’ve got the water falling on me I’ve got the sunlight bright on my back I’ve got the cool breeze right on my skin I’ve got the water falling on me Water falling on me
